Hi all, you may recall this bass as I recently bought it from Penguin. It's a great bass but I'm really jonesing for a 5 or 6 string fretless. I'm missing that low B. So this one has to go so I can start getting the cash together for the next one. The bass is in exactly the same condition it is when I got it from Penguin except that I put a set of the round wounds on it and played it at home for a few hours. No gigs with guitar players knocking over amps or anything.
Still has just the one ding shown in the pic.
Comes with all the stuff that I got with it. Strings, tools, Hiscox case, etc.
Lines and side LED markers. I don't think I'll let to go for any less than I paid for it.
$1000 Canadian plus shipping.

I feel ya.... if it was a 5-string, I would have bought it the first time it was offered up!

@ crabby: I think it's a great sounding bass. Lots of tonal variety.
@fivebass: yeah, I was thinking it was too good a price to pass up even though it WAS a 4 string. If I could afford it I would hang on to it and STILL get a 5 string fretless.
I'm really missing my F Bass BNF5 and wish I could have hung on to that. Probably gonna get another or a Pedulla Pentabuzz... or I was drooling over the Marleaux Diva. Those thing appear to be a very nice bass. However, there's something extremely cool about getting a super high quality bass made in Canada. At least for me.

Nice looking basses! Although I'm sure markcv's bass is way more affordable than the basses shown in the above thread!

That's a big ten four on the affordable factor. Apparently, according to notreble.com, the STREET price of the Marleaux Diva is $5,950. Supposedly that includes options and shipping. Beautiful bass, but six grand? Is it really worth $2000 more than an F Bass BNF5? IMHO NOT.

...And received! Great looking and sounding bass. I have to experiment with the many tonal settings, but at the first rehearsal yesterday I managed to get the typical Status sound!
Many thanks to Mark / markcv for taking care of everything including shipping with TNT, and especially for the excellent communication via email and Facebook! Mark, it was a real pleasure doing business with you!
Best regards - Ken
